Going through some old draft microBEnet posts and came across this one, “Taking Aim at Microbes on Farm Good Strategy for Food Safety | Food Safety News”. This is a nice article about microbiological control at food production facilities… but that doesn’t just focus on the (justifiably) scary antibotic resistance breeding ground angle. This article talks about why livestock farmers probably don’t pay more attention to microbiology, and suggests some best practices in the field. Worth a read for anyone interested in the microbiology of food production.
